LOVING THE REJECTED BILLIONAIRE

We sit down on the couch, trying to process the portions of this impasse. Well, it’s just me and Andy who have to absorb everything, because this bitch can not convince me one bit that she didn’t know all this. She is affirming she and Damian aren’t together, but she can’t lie to me. On top of that, she is asking to stay and be with her child. Ridiculous, right? If she has no ill motive at all, why ask to stay here? Why return only on the night of our wedding? She doesn’t seem surprised by finding me in Andy’s house at all, and the way she is swaying her hips and walking to the kitchen is a mocking gesture on my part.

Can someone wake me up from this nightmare again? It’s eight o’clock at night, and I am supposed to be happily resting waiting for my big day tomorrow but here I am, nursing a headache and unsure about tomorrow. What kind of game is this?

“Babe, relax. I will fix this, okay?” Andy consoles, but unfortunately, tonight his words don’t hold that convincing and relaxing power in them. I would want to believe him, but I know this bitch never backs down. She won’t leave until she gets what she has come here for. But what is it? What does she want? Because I doubt it’s just Angel she wants to get close to.

Before I could speak to Andy, Maria returns from the kitchen, munching on a piece of chicken and a glass of juice on the other hand. The audacity of the bitch! She hasn’t been welcomed yet but she has already made herself so comfortable.

I understand this was her house before it became mine, but now it’s mine, right? It became mine the minute Andy and I became a couple. No matter how familiar she is with this house and everything, she should show some respect to me. She has the nerve to walk to that kitchen and grab a bite? A kitchen she never used when she was Andy’s wife? When I came here, that kitchen was abandoned, Andy and Angel had forgotten the taste and the aroma of homemade foods. I am the one who reminded them of all she had made them forget, even the feeling of love. And now, she shows up out of the blue and acts like she just went for a two days vacation and came back, or like she just had a long walk to the park and returned? Seriously?

“Well, Adrian? What have you decided?” She asks after finishing the chicken, sipping on her juice peacefully and comfortable like a queen in her palace. Everything about her annoys me.

Andy throws her a glance, and then he turns to me and I swear, I saw her roll her eyes.

“Go on to your room and rest, babe. I will fix this.” He says, giving me a peck on the cheek.

“No, hun. I will stay. I am as much involved here. Besides, I am sure your EX wife will not be bothered by my presence.” I insist on the word ex and made sure to look at her from the corner of my eye.

“Are you sure? I don’t want you to be stressed. We have a wedding tomorrow, and your bridal team will be coming in by six. You need to rest babe. I’m not shutting you off this, okay? I’m just concerned.” He insists.

“Yes, cousin. Adrian is right. You have quite a long tiresome day ahead. You need rest, lots of it. So, listen to your.. boyfriend.” The bitch airs her unwanted opinion. I’m glad she spoke though, because the sarcasm in her tone of voice suggests something.

“My place is here beside Andy. I’m staying. I can handle everything.” I mutter.

“But babe…” Andy starts, but I cut him off.

“It’s alright, love. I got this. I’m alright.” He gives me a suppliant look, and I give him the same look. Well, I think today is unique in its way because it is the first time I’m winning a stare challenge against him.

“I didn’t come all the way here to learn how to be romantically sweet to my boyfriend, you know?” Maria snobs. “To the point, Adrian. What’s your decision? I will have you know right now that I am not giving up my rights to my daughter whatsoever.””Angel knows only one mother, and that is Tania. I can not put her through the trauma of telling her that Tania is not her mother, but rather someone else is. Tania and I went through a lot explaining to Angel why she didn’t have a mother. Tania has tried and fixed the mess you left behind. She had to try and fill in the gap you left in your daughter’s heart. Now Angel acknowledges Tania as her mother. My daughter is happy. Do you want to ruin that for her? Do you want all the efforts that Tania put to make your daughter’s life complete to go to waste?””Tania! Tania! TANIA! My God, Adrian! This topic is about our daughter, Angel! Not this f…””Watch it!”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

There! They are at each other’s neck again. Is this how they were even when they were married? I’m afraid that their barking will wake Angel up. Poor kid! I hope she won’t be caught up in their fights. But is she even safe, given that she is the reason for this fight? Maria calms down a bit. It’s not like she has a choice though. She is standing before the fuming devil and I know her sore cheek is a good reminder of what can happen if she keeps yapping.

“You don’t need to keep mentioning her name in every sentence. She is right there beside you. I am not blind, I can see her. You don’t need to keep wrapping it to my face that she took over my place and my rights too. She can be anything but Angel’s mother. I am not going to hand over that right to her even if it means putting up a fight.”
